GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
In weeks 4–6, the tree begins to grow stronger branches and leaves. Keep the soil moist (not soggy), remove weeds, and mulch the base to retain moisture. Flowers will start appearing as the tree matures.
Fruits are ready to pick in 7–10 weeks. Harvest when the skin turns bright orange and the fruit feels slightly soft. Use clean scissors to cut the fruit gently. Enjoy fresh or store in a cool place!
When seedlings reach 10–15 cm tall, move them into larger pots or plant directly in the ground in full sunlight. Water 2–3 times a week, and add organic compost once a month to support healthy root growth.
Soak mandarin seeds in clean water for 12–24 hours. Plant them 2–3 cm deep in moist, well-drained soil. Keep the soil slightly damp and place in a warm, bright spot. Germination usually starts in 7–10 days.
